- 1. Field of the Invention
- The invention relates to vehicle doors capable of opening further than ninety degrees. In another of its aspects the invention relates to multiple pivot hinge mechanisms.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Automobiles have side doors for occupant entry that generally pivot out from the automobile at an angle approaching ninety degrees. These doors are usually attached to the automobile at a leading edge of the door and door opening.
- In certain applications, specifically in pickup trucks having an oversized cab, a second door is mounted to the trailing edge of the door opening. The two doors cooperate to fill the door opening. It has been found, however, that when the second door only opens to ninety degrees, access to the interior of the truck cab, particular in close quarters, is restricted.
- It would be advantageous to develop a hinge mechanism for a vehicle door that allows the door to pivot further than ninety degrees, and preferably to pivot flat against the vehicle exterior, to enable ready access to the interior of the vehicle.
- A dual pivot concealed hinge mechanism comprises a body side hinge support having a stop pin, a door side hinge support having a cam surface, the cam surface terminating in a detent, and a U-shaped hinge arm pivotally connected to the body side hinge support and the door side hinge support and including a rocker arm pivotally mounted to the hinge arm and having a cam follower biased against the cam surface, and a stop linkage pivotally connected between the hinge arm and the body side hinge support, whereby the hinge mechanism is adapted to operate through a substantially semi-circular range of motion, a first portion of the range of motion pivoting the door side hinge support relative to the hinge arm as the cam follower traverses the cam surface, until the cam follower engages the detent, and a second portion of the range of motion pivoting the hinge arm relative to the body side hinge support until the stop linkage engages the stop pin.
- In a further embodiment of the hinge mechanism, the body side hinge support further comprises a torsion rod having a reaction leg, and the stop linkage further comprises a roller adapted to engage the reaction leg. The stop linkage can include a bell crank arm pivotally mounted to the body side hinge support, with the roller mounted on the bell crank arm. The stop linkage is biased against the stop pin by the reaction leg.

FIG. 10 is a reverse perspective view of the dual pivot hinge ofFIGS. 1-9 . -
FIG. 11 is a reverse perspective view of a dual pivot hinge according to a further embodiment of the invention. - Referring to
FIGS. 1-3 , a dualpivot hinge mechanism 10 according to the invention generally comprises a doorside hinge support 20, a bodyside hinge support 40, and a substantiallyU-shaped hinge arm 60 pivotally connected to each of the hinge supports 20, 40.FIGS. 1 and 3 -5 illustrate thehinge mechanism 10 in the closed position. As shown inFIG. 3 , the vehicle exterior skin will conceal thehinge mechanism 10. - Door
side hinge support 20 is adapted to be secured to a concealedface 11 of avehicle door 16 byfasteners 17 inserted throughapertures 22. Bodyside hinge support 40 is adapted to be secured to a concealed, outwardly directedface 12 of thevehicle body 14 byfasteners 15 inserted throughapertures 42. Hingearm 60 is pivotally mounted to doorside hinge support 20 by doorside hinge pin 24 and to bodyside hinge support 40 by bodyside hinge pin 44. - Door
side hinge support 20 includes upper andlower flanges cam edge 30. Upper andlower flanges bridge portion 32 parallel to hingepin 24. - Body
side hinge support 40 includes upper andlower flanges bridge portion 50.Upper flange 46 is stepped from alower section 52 to anupper section 54. - With particular reference to
FIGS. 2 and 4 -5, arocker arm 70 is pivotally mounted to anupper surface 62 ofhinge arm 60 by apivot pin 64.Rocker arm 70 includes acam follower 72 at one end, arranged to bear againstcam edge 30. Rockerarm 70 is further mounted torocker arm bracket 76, which is also pivotally mounted to hingearm 60. Rockerarm 70 andbracket 76 are biased bycompression spring 74 operably positioned between apocket 63 onhinge arm 60 andbracket 76. As a result,cam follower 72 is biased into contact withcam edge 30. -
FIG. 4 is a plan view of thehinge assembly 10, with bodyside hinge support 40 cut away. A bell-shapedstop 56 is fixed against rotation toupper flange 46 of bodyside hinge support 40.Rocker arm bracket 76 includes aretainer arm 78 that extends into bodyside hinge support 40 so as to engage aface 58 ofstop 56 whencam follower 72 bears againstcam edge 30. Hingearm 60 is thereby prevented from rotating with respect to bodyside hinge support 40 abouthinge pin 44. - At the body
side hinge support 40, alink 80 andbell crank arm 82 form a pivotal linkage betweenhinge arm 60 andlower flange 48.Lower flange 48 further comprises apivot stop 88 functionally positioned relative tobell crank arm 82. - A star-wheeled roller bearing 84 is mounted on
bell crank arm 82 at an opposing end to link 80. Atorsion rod 90 is mounted on bodyside hinge support 40.Torsion rod 90 includes areaction leg 92 positioned proximatelower flange 48 of bodyside hinge support 40 and arranged to interact with star-wheeled roller bearing 84 during pivoting operation of thehinge mechanism 10 abouthinge pin 44. - Referring now to
FIGS. 3-9 , thehinge mechanism 10 is configured to operate in a specific sequential manner.FIG. 3 depictshinge mechanism 10 in a closed position. Hingearm 60 is nested substantially within bodyside hinge support 40 and doorside hinge support 20. As a force is appliedopposite hinge mechanism 10 to open thevehicle door 16, doorside hinge support 20 rotates in a clockwise direction (in reference to the orientation ofFIG. 3 ), pivoting abouthinge pin 24 ascam follower 72 travels alongcam edge 30. - As door side hinge support 20 pivots about
hinge pin 24,hinge arm 60 is prevented from rotating abouthinge pin 44 byretainer arm 78engaging face 58 ofstop 56. As doorside hinge support 20 reaches the partially open position shown inFIG. 7 ,cam follower 72 entersdetent 34, which is recessed relative to thearcuate cam edge 30. Doorside hinge support 20 is prevented from rotating further abouthinge pin 24 ashinge arm 60contacts bridge portion 32. - As
cam follower 72 entersdetent 34,rocker arm 70 can rotate aboutpin 64, and is biased to do so bycompression spring 74.Cam follower 72, biased intodetent 34 byspring 74, provides resistance against doorside hinge support 20 inadvertently returning to the closed position, thereby acting as a door check for the first portion of the door opening rotation. - As
rocker arm 70 androcker arm bracket 76 rotate aboutpin 64,retainer arm 78 is retracted away fromface 58 ofstop 56. This occurs with a rotation of doorside hinge support 20 abouthinge pin 24 of approximately 80-100 degrees. - As the
vehicle door 16 is urged toward opening further, hingearm 60, now released to rotate abouthinge pin 44, begins to pivot relative to bodyside hinge support 40.Retainer arm 78 is clear to travel about bell-shapedstop 56 alongarcuate face 59. - Referring now to
FIGS. 8-9 , ashinge arm 60 pivots relative to bodyside hinge support 40, the linkage formed bylink 80 and bell crankarm 82 extends, causing bell crankarm 82 to pivot aboutpin 86.Hinge arm 60 reaches its limit of rotation as bell crankarm 82 contacts pivot stop 88 (seeFIG. 2 ) onlower flange 48.Link 80 and bell crankarm 82 thereby preventhinge arm 60 from over-rotating. - As bell crank
arm 82 rotates when drawn bylink 80, star-wheeledroller bearing 84 presses againstreaction leg 92 oftorsion rod 90.Reaction leg 92 is deflected by star-wheeledroller bearing 84 so thatroller bearing 84 can pass byreaction leg 92, which then rebounds behindroller bearing 84. The assembly is configured such that bell crankarm 82 is biased byreaction leg 92 againstpivot stop 88.Reaction leg 92 and bell crankarm 82 thus provide resistance againsthinge arm 60 rotating counterclockwise toward the closed position. - In order for the vehicle door to be closed, a force exceeding the biasing force of
reaction leg 92 on star-wheeledroller bearing 84 and bell crankarm 82 must be exerted on the door.Torsion rod 90,reaction leg 92, and bell crankarm 82 are configured so that the force required to overcome the bias of thereaction leg 92 against star-wheeledroller bearing 84 is less than the force required to dislodgecam follower 72 fromdetent 34. The pivoting action of thehinge arm 60 abouthinge pin 44 will therefore occur first when the vehicle door is being closed. Afterhinge arm 60 rotates to its fully nested position in bodyside hinge support 40, additional force exerted on the vehicle door will act to dislodgecam follower 72 fromdetent 34, and then continue to move the door to the closed position ascam follower 72traverses cam edge 30. - In the event of a failure of
compression spring 74 orreaction leg 92, the hinge mechanism is still prevented from closing out of sequence. During the opening sequence, hingearm 60 is prevented from rotating relative to bodyside hinge support 40 becauseretainer arm 78 is positioned againstface 58 byrocker arm 70. Upon entry ofcam follower 72 intodetent 34,rocker arm bracket 76 rotates andretainer arm 78 is released fromface 58. Ashinge arm 60 rotates relative to bodyside hinge support 40,retainer arm 78 closely traversesarcuate face 59 ofstop 56, as shown particularly inFIG. 9 .Cam follower 72 is further retained indetent 34 because any attempt to rotaterocker arm 70 androcker arm bracket 76 is defeated whenretainer arm 78 contactsarcuate face 59 ofstop 56.Rocker arm 70 is thus prevented from rotating until thehinge arm 60 is returned to the fully nested position with bodyside hinge support 40 andretainer arm 78 is aligned withface 58 ofstop 56. -
FIG. 10 is a reverse perspective view of thehinge mechanism 10 shown inFIGS. 1-9 . Abumper 18 is shown in a position where it will keephinge arm 60 separated fromvehicle body 14 when thehinge arm 60 is in the closed position nested within bodyside hinge support 40. Thebumper 18 can be attached to either thehinge arm 60 or thevehicle body 14 to effect the separation. - The
bumper 18 is useful to prevent thehinge arm 60 from strikingvehicle body 14 and particularly prevents therocker arm 70 from contactingvehicle body 14. Ifrocker arm 70contacts vehicle body 14,cam follower 72 could become jammed indetent 34, preventing doorside hinge support 20 from rotating relative to hingearm 60, and preventing the vehicle door from being closed. A further function ofbumper 18 is to serve as a noise and vibration damper, and, in concert with vehicle doors seals (not shown), to account for tolerances within thehinge mechanism 10 when thevehicle door 16 is closed. - A further embodiment of a
hinge mechanism 110 according to the invention is depicted inFIG. 11 . Thehinge mechanism 110 differs from thehinge mechanism 10 in thathinge arm 160 is positively locked in position within bodyside hinge support 140 by aseparate latch mechanism 112.Latch mechanism 112 is pivotally mounted to hinge 170 and comprises ahook 114 spring biased so as to engage astriker 141 on bodyside hinge support 140 withhinge 110 in the nested/closed position. -
FIG. 11 shows the doorside hinge support 120 in its fully open position. In order for the vehicle door to be opened any further, hook 114 must be manually disengaged fromstriker 141. The figure depictslatch mechanism 112 having arelease lever 116 immediately accessible at thehinge mechanism 110, although it is also anticipated that thelatch mechanism 112 can be configured to be released from a remote location. - While the invention has been described in the specification and illustrated in the drawings with reference to a preferred embodiment, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the claims. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teachings of the invention without departing from the essential scope thereof. Therefore, it is intended that the invention not be limited to the particular embodiment illustrated by the drawings and described in the specification as the best mode presently contemplated for carrying out this invention, but that the invention will include any embodiments falling within the scope of the appended claims.
